In case of saddle packing (e.g., berl and intralox saddles), the maximum size of the packing should not exceed ______________ of the column diameter?

Correct answer: B. 1/15th

  • A. 1/5th
  • B. 1/15th
  • C. 1/30th
  • D. 1/50th

Random packing must be small relative to the column to distribute liquid properly and avoid excessive wall effects. For saddle packing, the usual maximum size is about one-fifteenth of the column diameter.
